9th Circle Lord

69 #69화 self-observation

After watching the play, the party headed to the market. There was nothing missing from the market.

It was full of daily necessities, accessories, and snacks.

Unlike the laughing and chatting party, Luther was seriously lost in thought among the party alone.

'I didn't expect you to see me like that.’

I thought I was always on my guard.

However, Kalua and other members of the party thought they were living a dull life.

'You could've seen that.’

I understood.

His thinking is thoroughly practical.

I don't do useless things, but I'm active in useful things.

In the process, they do not reveal their greed, but keep an eye on the situation and judge it closely.

All of this is because of past experiences.

Environment and experience have the greatest influence on the composition of a person's character.

Luther's cool-headed accident was eventually a legacy of war.

It has been and will continue to be.

However, Kalua's comments are not wrong.

It's dull and hard, so people around me can't approach easily.

So Dolken and others, who spent quite a while together, still found themselves difficult and envied Kaluana Kiara without hesitation.

Luther pondered.

'Maybe I need a change, too.’

I thought I should be more flexible in relationships with others.

'As Kalua said, this is not a battlefield.

The viewer suffers from tension whenever he/she shows his/her naked appearance. 

So it has to be changed.

It wouldn't be bad to know what it feels like to live a comfortable life.’

When I got crazy about it, I thought maybe what I needed most was relaxation.

Luther nodded without realizing it.

'Yes, what I need now is relaxation.'

It would not be bad to look around and observe the world rather than to live a busy life rushing by time.

Let's not look too forward.’

It would not be a bad idea to take a short break in a completed life.

Determined, Luther knew what he had to do right now.

It was an interest in the group that had been neglected.

Luther, who looked around the market, suddenly stopped walking on the jewelry stand.

When he stopped, the party stopped, too.

Everyone looked at him.

All eyes are questionable.

A street vendor with sideburns laughed and spoke enthusiastically as Luther paid attention to the accessories.

"You've got a very good eye. These accessories are made by the natives on a desert island in the southern tip of the country. The sea pearls are colored with dried sea plants in palm sap, which grows only there. For your information, they glow at night.”

The party was interested in the merchant's introduction. 

Elena asked with surprised eyes.

"You're shining at night? Is that true?"

"If you don't believe it, you can put it in your palm. Give it a try it.

The merchant held out his accessories.

Elena, who received it, put the jewelry in her palm and covered it, and looked at it.

Her mouth burst with exclamation.

"Oh, really? It's so shiny!"

"Really?"

The attention of three people was sold to accessories.

said Luther.

"Choose the accessories you want. I'll buy it for you."

"Oh, really?"

"Thank you, Master."

"Rooter, pick one for me.”

"You want me to choose?"

"Yes."

Luther struggled with Kiara's demands and chose the right accessories.

Luther was a necklace with pure white pearls that seemed to match Kiara.

The wearing kiara asked carefully.

"What do you think?"

"Pretty."

A flush rose on her face.

Dolken, who looked envious of the shape, approached Elena with a false cough.

"Elena, do you want me to choose the right accessories for you?”

"That's enough. I've already chosen."

Elena had already chosen a bracelet.

Dolken, who missed the chance to get a score, was secretly sullen.

Luther patted such Dolken on the shoulder.

"Opportunity always comes."

Dolken was dazed by the unexpected advice. 

Since then, Luther began to take care of his party, but there was a limit.

The atmosphere of the party was different from the time when women looking at the market began to choose their clothes.

Men's clothes were just to hide themselves or to protect themselves, but women were to decorate and decorate themselves.

Everyone began to get bored when Kalua and Elena started chatting over a dress.

Barcoz tried to pull out his foot out.

"I'll be on my way to work."There was enough justification to get out of Luther's work.

I can't be so jealous of the liberated Barcoz. Dolken looked at Luther with a desperate face. 

Luther said to Kalua,

"We'll go back first."

"What? Already? It's just the beginning."

Dolken shuddered at Kalua's regrettable response.

I hung on a piece of clothing until dark, but it still seems to be lacking.

If this continues, we will be able to see the night market.

Luther replaced Dolken's mind.

"We're not really interested in looking around clothes. I'll be having a drink at the bar over there, so come find me there."

"Drinking? You don't like drinking, do you?"”

"Suddenly, I want to drink."

Luther took the men with him and left.

When Kiara tried to chase, Kalua caught him.

She whispered.

"The Master said the necklace was pretty. Don't you want to wear a prettier dress?"

Kiara alternately looked at the Luther and the displayed clothes with her shaking eyes, and soon nodded, her eyes fixed on the dress.

Looking at the cool beer bubble, I feel like my mind is being washed away.

I feel refreshed when I drink beer and eat snacks.

Dolken said with a refreshed look.

"If it weren't for you, I would've followed you to the end. I've never had such a boring moment in my life.”

"Women see differently than we do."

"Next time I ask you to go to the market, I'm going to make all sorts of excuses.”

"I agree."

Dolken glanced at Luther, who sipped a glass of beer without saying a word, and soon asked with a smile.

"Luther, you're tired of it, right?”

"I did."

"Hhhhhhhhhhh, everyone is united at times like this.”

"But don't show that you're bored on the outside. Because I have to fight back to win Elena's heart."

At Kane's advice, Dolken stuck out his lips.

"Can you stop being interested? I'll take care of it."

asked Zach.

"Ask me a question. Are you sure you're not interested in any other woman besides Elena?"

His unrequited love was a matter of interest to everyone. Dolken said bluntly.

"Stop paying attention."

When his feelings were known, he couldn't be so uncomfortable.

Dolken, who gulped down the beer in disappointment, sighed as he lowered his glass coolly.

"I'm thinking about closing my mind, too.”

Kane asked curiously at Dolken's change of heart, who thought he would be docile.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"I still can't forget Elena's words that she doesn't look more like a colleague. I don't think I look like a man to Elena."

Kane nodded at Dolken's blow.

"Ellena was unexpectedly an iron castle.”

"It's a woman's body, but it's a man's mind. I'm not interested in men."

Zach shook his head.

"That's not true. Elena is very interested in men."

"How do you know that?”

"When I was Marquis Colon, Elena watched the knights there for a long time.”

"So?"

"The knights were sweating off their clothes. Elena's eyes were fixed on them, and I didn't know it would fall."

Dolken was full of energy.

"Is that true?"

Kane nodded as he glanced at the dumbfounded man.

"Elena isn't interested in men, she's not interested in you." 

d*mn it!

Dolken shouted nervously.

'Here's another beer, please!"

Kane looked at Luther.

"What do you think, Luther?”

Luther, who was quietly sipping beer, turned his head to Kane's question.

"What?"

"Elena and Dolken. Can it continue?"

Luther nodded.

"It's not without possibility.”

Dolken's face brightened.

"Really?"

"But you look thin. As Kane said, Elena doesn't seem to be interested in you."

After confirming Luther's death, Dolken was unable to hide his frustration.

Zach said with a serious face.

"Dolken, do you really think it's only Elena?”

"It was like that when I was in the snow, but now I don't know how I feel."

It's a pity that the bright Dolken has a hard time.

Luther suggested.

"Why don't you do this? Check Elena's mind."

Dolken's gloomy ears sprang up.

"Do you check your mind?"

"Let's get jealous for now. If Elena isn't interested, she's really not interested in you, and if she's jealous, there's still a possibility, so she keeps challenging herself."

Everyone paid attention to his proposal.

"How can I make you jealous?"

"Ellena seems to be interested in the driver, so she should be a knight and make a contribution. It will arouse women's interest, and Elena will react whether she likes it or not."Dolken was in a passion.

"An article? I'm doing an article?”

"What's the point of not being able to do it when I'm a mid-term prosecutor at Expert? But let's keep this a secret for ourselves, because Elena might be offended by the thought."

"Of course."

Kane's eyes were strange to see Dolken and Luther being beaten.

Curious, he asked.

"Do you want Dolken and Elena to continue?"

"You don't have to be Elena. I wish Dolken a better life than he is now."

"Mr. Luther."

To the touched Dolken, he looked at Kane and Jacques as if Luther had just turned out well.

"Ask this time. Kane, Zach, do you intend to stay alone in the future?"

"What? What do you mean?"

"Do you intend to live alone without making a home?"

It's sudden when I mentioned a topic that I never thought of.

Luther spoke coolly to them who were speechless.

"It was when I was a mercenary in Malvin that I understood living alone. It must have been hard for you to take care of yourself, but now you can afford it, so consider it."

Kane asked with strange eyes at Luther's advice.

"Do you want us to get married?"

"It's advice, not coercion. It's up to you. But if you become the head of a family, your life will be richer and your responsibility will be stronger."

Jacques thought it over and soon nodded.

"I'll consider it."

"Yes. If you meet a woman you like, be sure to give me a heads-up. I'll help you."

Kane wondered at Luther's request.

"How can you help me?"

"I won't know until then. At least I'll let you stay away from Dolken."

Dolken, who was touched, frowned and said sick.

"What's wrong with me?”

"Don't be disappointed because I'm just taking the case.”

Kane laughed while trying to soothe Dolken.

"It won't be as good as Dolken at least."

"No one knows about people. Who knows if you meet a girl you like, you'll get worse than Dolken?"

Zach said seriously.

"Actually, I wasn't going to tell you, but I used to be popular with women."

Dolken asked with his eyes full of energy.

"Are you talking about what happened at the brothel? It's a popular place for everyone with money, right?”

"It's true anyway."

"Zach knows how to make jokes."

Kane laughed at Zach's impudence.

said Luther.

"Everyone, take my words seriously. It's a piece of advice that melts life's experience."

Kane got a scratch.

"Did you have a woman, too, Luther?”

"No. I've never been in my life. But I saw many colleagues who have loved ones. They were desperate at every moment, and they didn't neglect a little bit of time. They knew what sacrifice was and never regretted it. It was much more detached than those who died in grief. Maybe it was because they didn't regret their lives while they were dying."

Kane's eyes shook.

Luther spoke calmly.

"There's only one life anyway. So don't regret it."

The three men nodded slowly at the words.
